    you got the same result as people who voted for Jill Stein and the people who voted for Trump.

    that’s not effective.

    Some memory you have.

            A strawman is where you invent a different argument, then defeat it. Rephrasing the exact argument you made in funnier language isn’t a strawman. It’s just what you said, but more plainly. “Voting doesn’t work because I don’t always get what I want.” That’s what you said in literal English.

              it is, and your quibbling belies bad faith
